Hi,
I decided to use Linux. I'm rather novice in this environment. Recently I've tested all versions of popular and media center type distributions. Now Im using latest Mandriva. I have biggest problem with video playback. If the material is in a better resolution, then worse it is played. Even simple divx movie make some screen tearting. I tested MPlayer, VLC and Xine. The same everywhere. I've tried to compile ffmpeg, mplayer, install vaapi patches for mplayer and vlc. After last Catalyst upgrade, system is not respodnig
When I used WinXP, my graphic cart performed well. There were even spdif passthrough on hdmi. My configuration is AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800, nforce 570 motherboard and 2GB DDR RAM. From what I read is not well with the support of ATI cards on Linux. I have a Radeon HD2600. It's connected with HDMI into a LCD television. Is there easy way to install Linux, add some players from repositories and just use it on my PC? Which distribution, player shall I use? Or do I need to buy Nvida card?
Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tounge
Thanks in advance for your reply.
